Installation Restoration Program. Phase 1: Records Search, Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), Tennessee

Abstract

This report identified and evaluated potentially hazardous waste disposal sites at Arnold Engineering Development Center, Tenn. Records of past waste handlings and disposal practices at the facilities were reviewed. Interviews with past and present installations employees were conducted to develop a history of waste disposal practices. The environmental setting for the area for effectively receiving the wastes was evaluated including soils, geology, ground water and surface water. Twelve sites at the installation were found to have potential to create environmental contamination. These include a landfill/leaching area, a site with fire protection training/burning/landfill activities, retention reservoir/drainage area, landfill, leaching pit, chemical treatment pond, leach/burn area, testing area, an abandoned water treat-plant, and three surface drainage areas.
